Orangutan Robot Controllers
Pololu’s Orangutan robot controllers are combinations of microcontrollers and additional hardware useful for controlling robots. All Orangutans feature Atmel AVR microcontrollers, multiple H-bridges for direct control of DC motors, and most units have integrated LCD displays. The Baby Orangutan and Orangutan SV require external programmers, such as Atmel’s AVRISP or the Pololu USB AVR programmer v2.
The Orangutan family currently has two members:
- Orangutan SV-328 is a next-generation replacement of our original Orangutan. It operates from 6 V to 13.5 V and includes motor drivers that can deliver a continuous 1 A (3 A peak) per channel to two independent motors. A powerful voltage regulator allows the 5V bus to deliver up to 3 A—enough to power servos and other high-power peripherals for which the battery voltage would be too high.
- Baby Orangutan packs the same basic hardware as the Orangutan SV-328 into a familiar 24-pin DIP-size package. This is the only Orangutan product without explicit LCD support, but an LCD can be connected externally.

The Baby Orangutan B-328 is a very compact but complete robot controller, packing a high-performance ATmega328P AVR microcontroller (with 32 KB of program memory and 2 KB of RAM) and two motor drive channels in the same 24-pin form factor as competing units that include just a microcontroller. You can connect your battery, sensors, and motors directly to this small module to make a miniature robot, or you can use the Baby Orangutan as an auxiliary controller in larger robots.
